A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'P'
In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles start with the letter “P.” When you think of English words that begin with “P,” terms like “Peace,” “Party,” and “Picture” come to mind—some of you might already be thinking of a few songs just from seeing those words.
I don’t think many of us have had the chance to specifically seek out and listen only to songs that start with a particular letter.
But looking at them this way might help you discover tracks you didn’t know or lead to new findings.
I’d be delighted if this becomes an opportunity for you to encounter some new music.

Prelude: Evening Star / Shatter And BurstNEW!Greyhaven
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Greyhaven have drawn attention since their formation in 2013 with a distinctive sound that weaves progressive developments into a post-hardcore and metalcore foundation.
This release, which combines the two tracks that open their October 2025 album “Keep It Quiet,” stands out for its striking contrast between ferocity and lyricism.
Vocals that move fluidly between calm and intensity, along with intricate interlocking guitar work, deftly evoke shifting emotions.
The sound, refined in collaboration with producer Will Putney, emphasizes the band’s melodic side more than ever while preserving the heft that defines them.
It’s a perfect track for those who seek delicacy within heavy music, or for listeners who enjoy bands influenced by Every Time I Die.
Past Lives (feat. Hayley Williams)NEW!Jay Som
This track from California-born singer-songwriter Melina Duterte, aka Jay Som, comes from her first album in six years, Belong, and marks her first-ever featured collaboration, welcoming Paramore’s Hayley Williams as a guest.
Williams’s gentle harmonies layer over a dreamy, wavering soundscape, highlighting the protagonist’s complex emotions as they reflect on past memories and relationships.
The mid-song slowdown is striking, unfolding like a struggle with the self, and the sound remains expansive yet introspective and soothing.
Realized through the connection formed when Jay Som opened for Paramore on tour in 2018, the piece symbolizes a new step for Jay Som, who built her career from bedroom pop.
It’s perfect for those seeking a delicate listening experience—one you’ll want to savor through headphones on a quiet night.
Pretty Promises,NEW!Kali Uchis, Mariah The Scientist
A singer with Colombian roots, Kali Uchis, and Atlanta-born singer-songwriter Mariah the Scientist released a collaborative track in October 2025.
The song appears on the expanded edition of Kali Uchis’s fifth album, “Sincerely,” titled “Sincerely: P.
S.” Set against a dreamy sonic backdrop, the two trade verses around the themes of “promises” and “the weight of words.” Blending retro soul textures with modern R&B, the sound is filled with a gentle warmth that quietly stays close to the listener’s heart.
At the Atlanta show, there was a surprise when Mariah took the stage to perform the song, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
It’s a track that softly gives you a push when you want to reflect on promises and trust with someone.
Punks And DemonsNEW!Rob Zombie
Rob Zombie, the American heavy metal maverick also known as a horror film director.
Since branching off from White Zombie in 1998 to launch his solo career, he has established a unique style that fuses industrial metal with horror elements.
The new song released in October 2025 is the lead single from his album “The Great Satan,” slated for release in February 2026.
Its heavy sound—exploding with groovy riffs and shouts—is quintessentially his trademark.
It’s a track that heightens anticipation for his first new release in about four years, since 2021.
The fact that it was previewed in advance at the 20th anniversary screening of the horror film “The Devil’s Rejects” is also a very Rob Zombie touch, reflecting his identity as a filmmaker.
Place Of My OwnNEW!Caravan
Like Soft Machine, Caravan—also born from The Wilde Flowers—is a band that represents Canterbury rock.
Their hallmark is a lyrically rich sound blending jazz and folk.
Their landmark debut song is a warm yet somehow wistful piece.
Pye Hastings’s innocent-sounding vocals and Dave Sinclair’s distinctive organ delicately depict the feelings of a protagonist in search of “a place of one’s own.” It brims with the unique charm of their early period, where pop sensibilities coexist with the seeds of later progressive developments.
Opening their debut album, Caravan, released in January 1969, and also known as a single, the track had already been performed on a BBC program in December 1968, prior to their debut.
It’s a classic you’ll want to hear when you wish to step away from the everyday and quietly drift into thought.
Plug In BabyNEW!Muse
Formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994 and debuting on the scene with their 1999 album Showbiz, Muse are a three-piece rock band consisting of Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard.
Centered on alternative rock, their appeal lies in a sound that incorporates elements of progressive, classical, and electronic music.
Their 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations saw Supermassive Black Hole reach No.
4 on the UK charts and exceed 3.
5 million in global sales.
Boasting an illustrious record that includes two Grammy Awards, the band has sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
In 2025, they made a long-awaited return to Japan, once again sending Japanese fans into a frenzy with their overwhelming performance.
Their live shows—marked by grand stage production and stunning musicianship—are a must-see, and they’re highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy everything from classic rock fundamentals to experimental sounds.
PDANEW!Interpol
A song by Interpol, the New York–based post-punk revival band.
It’s their debut single, also included on the classic album Turn On the Bright Lights, and its dramatic progression—where stillness and intensity intersect—grabs you right from the opening.
Centered on a breakup, the lyrics portray the wandering heart of a protagonist with nowhere to go, while the symbolic phrase “200 couches” functions as a device to convey their unstable state of mind more deeply.
Released in August 2002, the track’s music video was nominated for the MTV2 Award the following year, and its inclusion in the video game Rock Band 2 means many listeners may have encountered it there.
Brimming with tension, the sound vividly captures the loneliness and fleeting atmosphere of the city at night, making it a signature song that embodies the band’s origins.
